Is it worth it to buy from Kuroki

General discussions about gobans, etc., go here. If you're selling go equipment, it should go in the Trading Post.

I'm also curious about where the new blossom and blue label stand in the spectrum (usually, there's a direct coorelation to their prices?).

Side-by-side (blue label on left, moon on right): http://imgur.com/QKyYfeo

I couldn't get a good side-by-side, due to shadows, camera, probably too many stones for comparison...


In general, you'll find more consistent, tighter lines on the moon grade. The blue label has several stones with few lines on them, that have a large arc, wider gaps between some of the lines, etc.
